I
always take a written list to the grocery store; otherwise I will usually miss
a thing or two needed. When I go to the Cross no such list is necessary. Why are we always trying to add something to the
Cross as if its work is insufficient? Did God really forget things to place
upon Himself? Redemption is complete; nothing is left untouched. I can trust
the Redeemer to apply His work to every need, every sorrow. My part is to
surrender everything at the feet of the Savior. Holy God, You declared: “It is
finished!” Help the sincerity of my repentance match the greatness of Your Salvation.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
